Have another Chevy M1008 project, transmission failed. This is Lawrence of Arabia M1008.
Many reasons that it failed. First it had the wrong dip stick so the trans was about 4-5 quarts to low on fluid. Second the pan gasket had to cuts in it, not sure why. Third it had the wrong "TV" cable or throttle valve cable installed causing improper line pressures in the transmission, even though it has a full line pressure valve body from Summit racing it still needs to have the correct line pressure inputs from the throttle for the shifts.
Fourth they removed the pressures switches inside the trans on the valve body, removed all the wiring from trans, and the torque convertor lock up solenoid wires were also cut.
Fifth they used a cheap torque convertor, it is about half the weight of the torque convertors I buy.
Sixth they bypassed the radiator cooler and were only using the secondary air cooler for the trans fluid, causing it to overheat among the many other things that they did wrong. The fluid smells so bad it made me sick, I have never had fluid smell that bad before.
